<pre>
    After https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/991cfd1379f7d5184a3f6306ac10cabec742bbd2 the monorepo now has a top-level LICENSE.TXT file.
That means that LICENSE.TXT files with identical content in the first-level sub-directories no longer have value.
They probably should be removed so that they don't accidentally get out of sync, following the DRY principle.

One not-entirely-trivial task needed to implement this is to adapt the release script.
Our releases continue to provide source packages containing just various of the sub-directories. These source packages should pick up the top-level LICENSE.TXT file after we removed LICENSE.TXT files from first-level sub-directories
